The answer

Al-Nasa’i narrated from Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) the story of a devout man whom a seductive woman invited to bear witness. He followed her and found with her a boy and a jug of wine. She gave him the choice between committing adultery with her, drinking the wine, or killing the boy. He chose to drink the wine, then he committed adultery and killed the boy. For this reason, Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) warned against wine, because it is the mother of all evils, and faith and addiction to wine do not coexist.
